{"product_id":"tiger-men-barry-petersen-9789748299136","title":"Tiger Men: A young Australian soldier among the Rhade Montagnard of Vietnam","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwenty five years after he left Vietnam and his Montagnard tribesmen, Australian Barry Petersen wrote this thoughtful story of his life among the \u003cem\u003eRhade\u003c\/em\u003e and other ethnic groups of Darlac Province. He went there to train and lead the local tribes to defend their villages and homes against the Viet-Cong; this book is the story of the \u003cem\u003eTruong Son\u003c\/em\u003e--Tiger Men--who became the most respected and feared self-defence force in South Vietnam. But it is also the sad story of the subsequent defeat and destruction of the Montagnard villages, culture and way of life--as much due to the Vietnamese and American generals and political leaders as to the Viet-Cong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor his heroic efforts, Petersen himself almost paid the ultimate price--years after his departure from Vietnam, he learned that both the South Vietnamese and some Americans had plotted to have him killed. This is a book which the CIA would rather not see in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Petersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9748299139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789748299136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orchid Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.58w x 0.66d","brand":"Barry Petersen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993606390015,"sku":"9789748299136","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c2e8c5c-8506-4e30-8ef8-540979b68db9.jpg?v=1683325277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tiger-men-barry-petersen-9789748299136","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
